Social metacognitive judgments: The role of retrieval-induced forgetting in person memory and impressions

Article Abstract:

A report on several experiments that explore the role of retrieval-induced forgetting in maintaining and modifying impressions, more specifically, whether monitored or use the retrieval accessibility of memories about other people to make and adjust one's impression on them is presented. The findings indicate that impairing retrieval access to specific information does not, in itself, lead to changes in judgment originally based on such information.

The importance of retrieval failures to long-term retention: A metacognitive explanation of the spacing effect

Article Abstract:

A report on two investigations in which long intervals between study sessions yield substantial benefits to long-term retention, at a cost of only moderately longer individual study sessions, is presented. The findings are relevant to theory and to educators whose primary interest in memory pertains to long-term maintenance of knowledge.

What constrains the accuracy of metacomprehension judgment? Testing the transfer-appropriate-monitoring and accessibility hypotheses

Article Abstract:

An evaluation of two hypotheses such as transfer appropriate monitoring (TAM) and the accessibility hypothesis, which explain why the accuracy of metacomprehension judgment is commonly low, is provided. It is argued that TAM is not a viable explanation of accuracy, and the ways to improve judgment accuracy are discussed.
